Production took place in Montana and the movie is set to premiere April 1, 2016. Going back to his performing days, Nick Carter also announced that he will be joining season 21 of the ABC show Dancing With the Stars as a celebrity contestant.

The new season premiered in September 2015 and Nick finished in 2nd place. It was on the show that Nick and his wife Lauren announced that they are expecting their first child together. On April 19, 2016 Nick and Lauren welcomed their son Odin Reign. Nick embarked on his solo tour in February through March of 2016, in support of the release of his new solo album, All American. The album is described as a pop/rock mash-up and features the singles “I Will Wait” and “Get Over Me” feat. Avril Lavigne. When Nick isn’t busy traveling the world, he’s dedicated to giving back. Through his work with organizations like UNEP (United Nations Environmental Program) and ICRAN (International Coral Reef Action Network), Carter hopes to use the platform of fame to make a significant difference in conserving the environment. Currently, Nick is focused on his family life with wife Lauren Kitt, and being an amazing father to son Odin Reign.

Nick is also getting back in studio with the Backstreet Boys, and are currently working on their 9th studio album, and plan to have the CD done by the fall of 2016, with a world tour to follow. Music | The boys in the bands The boys in the bands Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter, BBMak, O-Town, Dream Street BY SEAN RICHARDSON It�s been five years since the release of the first Backstreet Boys disc. Backstreet Boys (Jive) went on to sell 14 million copies, launching the teen-pop explosion that ruled the charts at the turn of the millennium. Britney Spears and �N Sync soon joined the party, and together the three Jive labelmates came to rule the pop charts before most of them were old enough to order a beer. Now Britney is about to turn 21, and the boy-band wars have entered a new phase: 21-year-old �N Sync star Justin Timberlake and 22-year-old Backstreet Boy Nick Carter have just released their first solo albums. With bubblegum dance pop faltering on the charts, the boys are trying to breathe new life into their careers by moving in a more mature direction.

Justin is the youngest, cutest, and most prominent member of boy-band nation: he�s the one who got to date Britney, and he�s also the one most likely to make a George Michael transition from teen idol to respectable pop star. He was the lead songwriter on the most recent (and best) �N Sync album, Celebrity (Jive), which featured inspired collaborations with A-list producers BT and the Neptunes. Working with the Neptunes production team, he was responsible for the �N Sync hit "Girlfriend," so it�s not surprising that the same players are on board for his new Justified (Jive). The Neptunes have spent most of the last year concentrating on their own outrageous rock band, N.E.R.D., who just won the second annual Shortlist Prize for their debut album, In Search Of . . . (Virgin). On the first single from Justified, "Like I Love You," they cue up a slammin� hard-funk drumbeat that borders on rock, and they turn the hardcore rappers Clipse loose in the outro.

Justin starts the song off whispering come-ons, then quickly slides into a smoky R&B croon; eventually he works his way up to an exaggerated falsetto. The hooks are even more obscure than those on the Neptunes� previous foray into reductivist teen pop, Britney�s "I�m a Slave 4 U." But the groove is unstoppable, and Justin�s vocals put his loverboy act across. Like George Michael before him, Timberlake has emerged from his teen-pop years with the voice of a blue-eyed soul man: he grew up in Memphis, and he says his favorite singers are Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Figure in his well-honed dance moves and it�s no wonder many pop fans accused him of aping Michael Jackson when he debuted "Like I Love You" at the MTV Video Music Awards a few months ago.

There�s more where that came from on Justified, especially on the liquid bounce of "Rock Your Body," the Neptunes� sharpest MJ homage since No Doubt�s "Hella Good." And though the Neptunes� rhythm tracks are some of the edgiest and most dangerous in contemporary pop, their Virginia homeboy Timbaland puts up some stiff competition on Justified with the four tracks he produced (the Neptunes are credited with seven). He turns up the heat on "(And She Said) Take Me Now," which starts off with a funky stab of clavinet and a seductive whisper from guest vocalist Janet Jackson. The stormy ballad "Cry Me a River" is Justin�s most soulful performance since the �N Sync hit "Gone"; it�s also the album�s most nuanced production. Given its 63-minute length, the disc does come up a little short on hooks. And Timberlake�s songwriting tends to be more professional than passionate. But he�s got the voice to go with his looks, and his tastes are quite a bit more adventurous than you might expect from a charter member of a middle-of-the-road boy band.

Like Timberlake, Nick Carter was the youngest and cutest member of his group � but the ratio of melody and bombast to groove and attitude is much more favorable on his new Now or Never (Jive) than it is on Justified. The album isn�t as sonically ambitious as Justified, and since its October 29 release, it hasn�t been as strong a contender on the Billboard charts � unlike Justified, it failed to crack the Top 10 the week it came out. Carter�s appeal is more generic; he never dated Britney; he likes rock better than hip-hop; and he still seems happy to play by the old teen-pop rules. That�s not such a bad thing on the first single from Now or Never, "Help Me," which amounts to a Backstreet song with one boy on the microphone instead of five. The unobtrusive soft-rock beat is familiar, as are the hopeful coming-of-age lyrics: "Help me make the right decisions/Know which way to turn, lessons to learn/And just what my purpose is here." Those aren�t Carter�s words, but he did have a hand in writing five of the album�s 12 tracks.

His most sympathetic writing partner is producer Gary Clark, who contributes the disc�s most mature song, "My Confession." Nick�s secret weapon is the same as it�s been since the early Backstreet days: Swedish songwriter/producer Max Martin, who wrote the catchiest material on the album. Martin�s pop-metal roots are no secret, but this is the first time he�s brought his rock skills to bear on a pop project. Def Leppard producer Per Aldeheim plays the loudest rock-guitar riffs teen pop has ever heard on "Blow Your Mind," and the rhythm section from the Swedish death-metal band Ebony Tears makes a cameo on the track. Martin switches over to an electro groove on the verses, and Nick has a blast with the song�s psycho-girlfriend lyrics. It�s purely a matter of taste, but I�ll take Nick�s "Beat It" over Justin�s "Rock with You" any day. THE BRITISH POP TRIO BBMak released their first album, Sooner or Later (Hollywood), two years ago, at the height of the boy-band boom. It yielded the hit "Back Here," which showcased the group�s intricate vocal harmonies but stayed away from the usual dance-pop instrumentation.

When they hit the road with both Britney and �N Sync, it became even more evident that they weren�t your average boy band: instead of prancing around the stage, they strummed acoustic guitars and threw in a few rock covers. Group members Stephen McNally, Christian Burns, and Mark Barry sang about puppy love and reveled in their youthful good looks, but they also showed skill as musicians. Closer investigation revealed that Sooner or Later was executive-produced by alternative-rock veteran Rob Cavallo, whose credits include Green Day�s landmark Dookie (Reprise) and the last couple of Goo Goo Dolls albums. Cavallo plays the same role on BBMak�s new Into Your Head (Hollywood), which pushes even farther in a rock direction. The group wrote the disc�s first single, "Out of My Heart," with fellow Northern England natives Tony and Chris Griffiths of the early-�90s Britpop band the Real People. As the song�s pedigree suggests, it�s a bittersweet roots-rocker with a huge chorus, a tasteful slide-guitar solo, and little evidence of any boy-band roots.

BBMak wrote more than half the songs on their first album, and they get a songwriting credit on every track here. The highlight is the inspirational "Staring into Space," which recalls vintage Teenage Fanclub with its sunny harmonies and sophisticated arrangements. The group offer up a convincing variation on the Goo Goo Dolls�style folk-rock lament with "Get You Through the Night," which breaks into a fancy chamber-pop vocal interlude halfway through. The UK rock community probably isn�t ready to accept them as a full-fledged Britpop group, but it�s getting difficult to call their music by any other name. And the Brits certainly didn�t have any trouble accepting Robbie Williams, the former Take Four teen-pop star, as a grown-up rocker reinvented as a mainstream Britpop sensation. Like Now or Never, BBMak�s Into Your Head isn�t doing very well on the charts. Which isn�t surprising: BBMak�s unassuming roots pop isn�t the most commercial style on the market, and the hype surrounding Justified hasn�t trickled down to the rest of boy-band nation. Still, a couple of other significant boy-band albums are coming out this month.

O2 (J Records) is the new disc from O-Town, who formed on the ABC-TV series Making the Band and went on to have their homonymous J Records debut certified platinum. Like many of their teenage peers, O-Town, who are scheduled to play the Tsongas Arena December 11, were more involved in the writing of their sophomore effort. The first single, "These Are the Days," is a melancholy ballad that sports a more organic, less processed sound than anything on O-Town. But the best boy-band single of the season comes from one of the most commercially irrelevant of the boy bands: LMNT, who were formed by original O-Town member Ikaika Kahoano and a few stray Making the Band semifinalists. LMNT�s first album, All Sides (Atlantic), came out at the beginning of the summer, and they�ve since parted ways with the label. But not before their harmony-rich lite-rocker "Juliet" (as in, "I just want you to know, I wanna be your Romeo") went into rotation on Radio Disney, where it�s been spinning ever since.

"Juliet" was written and produced by Fredrik Thomander and Anders Wikstrom, a talented duo of Max Martin protégés who showed up a couple of years late to the teen-pop party. Their Swedish corporate-rock roots run even deeper than Martin�s: Wikstrom was in the �80s pop-metal band Treat, who released three albums in the US. Thomander and Wikstrom have more than one infectious Radio Disney hit on their résumé: they also wrote "I Say Yeah" for the nascent underage boy band Dream Street. The first Dream Street album, Dream Street (Edel), recently went gold with little mainstream radio play, just as four of the group�s five members quit in a contract dispute. That didn�t stop their lone remaining teen pin-up, Chris Trousdale, from signing a new record deal under the name Dream Street, or from starring in an upcoming kids� movie about the group, The Biggest Fan. A new line-up has yet to be assembled, but the soundtrack, which includes the new single "With All My Heart," is due on Columbia later this month.

Which just goes to show that though teen pop may have lost some of its momentum in 2002, there are still plenty of teen-poppers with music, and money, to make, and a large core group of fans who are more than willing to go along for the ride.

Personal Quotes (7) I try to make myself look as normal as possible because I like people to relate to me. Teen People, Summer 2000 I'm kind of like a sponge in a way. Everybody that I meet inspires me. You can learn so much from any person that you meet any day on the side of the street. Girls who are older than me, girls that are smaller, pretty long dark hair, honest, loyal, very romantic, someone that loves me for who I am deep down inside, someone who is independent, fiesty with a great personality, good heart, most of all - my dream girl has to be natural, not too much makeup! - what he looks for in a girl It would be going too far to say I was actually in Edward Scissorhands because I was so far in the background that you can't tell it's me.

It would be better to say I was on the set of the film. I was in the scene when Edward looks out of a window to the neighborhood. For a split second he sees some kids playing - one of them was me. I was sliding on a yellow piece of plastic we used to call a Slip n' Slide. They were long flat sheets with water coming out of holes and were really popular with kids at the time. I had to slide on one in the background of the shot. It was great fun being on the set, but it was really cold and they made us do it a lot of times. All the things I've been doing have been very unique and original. I've just been trying to stand on my own two feet when it comes to everything. I don't want to follow trends. I don't want to be like everybody else. You know, that's not me. I'm an old rock and roll buff. I love Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty . I don't believe in being mean to anyone. I'm a really peaceful person. That's something I get from my family.

Born Nickolas Gene Carter on January 28, 1980, in upstate New York, Carter's life in entertainment began at an early age. He starred in various commercials and participated in countless talent shows as a child. By the time he was a teenager, he left the public school system for a home-schooled environment so he could focus on being a performer. He was barely 13 when he got the chance of a lifetime: Carter became the youngest member of the Backstreet Boys upon their formation in 1992. A tour of Europe catapulted the boys into fame by 1994 and the young Carter was elated. The Backstreet Boys broke America three years later with "Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)" and "As Long as You Love Me," and the next few years would be unstoppable for the vocal quintet. Their self-titled American debut sold 13 million copies.

Millennium (1999) was an impressive sophomore effort; however, the band's third album, Black & Blue (2000), resulted in poor sales. Carter took a well-needed break after touring the world for seven years, but he remained conscious of future musical ideas. Within a year, he and KNS Productions (Josh Schwartz and Brian Kierulf) were working on Carter's first solo album. What followed was a deeply personal piece of rock & roll and R&B entitled Now or Never, which appeared on Jive in October 2002. Carter coincided the release with his first-ever solo tour in February 2003. The album didn't take off and Carter started dabbling in acting over the next few years, culminating in the 2006 E! reality show The Carters, which documented Nick and his four siblings living in the same house. Just prior to the airing of The Carters, Nick rejoined the Backstreet Boys, who made a 2005 comeback with Never Gone.

Two albums followed in the next four years and then Carter recorded his second solo album, I'm Taking Off, which saw release in Japan in February of 2011, followed by a digital-only May release in the U.S. A reunion album with the Backstreet Boys called In a World Like This arrived in 2013; it debuted at five on the Billboard charts. Carter then teamed with fellow teen idol Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block for the duet album Nick & Knight; the album debuted at number 24 on the Billboard charts upon its September 2014 release. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi NICK CARTER - Tickets - Crescent Ballroom, Phoenix, AZ - February 29, 2016 - NIGHTOUT Crescent Ballroom **Must also purchase a general admission ticket from Crescent Ballroom** Age Limit: 21 and Over Details Headliners Sparking his career at the tender age of 12 years old, Nick Carter became an international pop superstar as the youngest member of iconic boy band, Backstreet Boys.

Known for his boyish good looks and heartthrob status, Carter's 22-year entertainment career has spanned far beyond the stages of sold out arenas, with an array of projects in television and film, and as a philanthropist and author. Most recently Carter paired up with Jordan Knight, fellow boy band member from 90's sensation New Kids on the Block, for a new collaborative album project, Nick & Knight. Nick also returned to television in 2014 for a new love story reality series on VH1, I Heart Nick Carter, which documented his journey to the alter with fiancé Lauren Kitt. As a standout member of the Backstreet Boys, Carter was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World," dubbed the "most gorgeous celebrity on the planet" by E! Online, and named "The Biggest Teen Idol" by Teen People Magazine. To date, the Backstreet Boys are the best-selling boy band in history and are one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time. The group also solidified one of the largest record deals ever, signing a $60 million deal with Jive Records in 1999.

Since taking the world by storm in 1995, the band has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has earned five Grammy nominations and countless Billboard Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, RIAA Awards, People's Choice Awards, and, most recently, an honorary star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. To date, the Backstreet Boys have toured around the globe several times over, released eight studio albums and have broken several records, including the U.S. record for most albums sold in one year, selling over 11 millions copies of their third studio album, Millennium, in 1999. In 2002 Nick released his debut solo album through Jive Records, Now or Never, which debuted at #17 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified Gold in the U.S., Japan and Canada. In 2004 Carter starred in his first horror film, The Hollow, which was a remake of the horror classic Sleepy Hollow. The film's producer, Dan Levin, touted Carter as a natural, and cast him in the lead role alongside Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco.

Nick also appeared in a number of other film roles, sharing the screen with the likes of Tom Arnold, and has made cameos on television series like the CW Network's reprised 90210. In 2005 Carter and his Backstreet brothers returned with their fifth studio album, Never Gone, which was certified Gold in six countries, went Platinum in America and Canada, and 2x Platinum in Japan. The album featured the smash hit single, 'Incomplete,' and hit the Top 10 in 15 countries. In December of 2011, Nick appeared on The Dr. Phil Show's Second Changes special to talk about his own personal struggle with drugs and alcohol and how he managed to successfully transform his life for the better. The inspiring segment lead to a book deal with Dr. Phil's Bird Street Books publishing company. The self-help memoir, Facing The Music And Living To Talk About It, released in the spring of 2013 and delves into Carter's life changing moments, which he hopes will serve as a valuable and inspirational resource for other people in similar situations.

Nick released his second solo album, I'm Taking Off, in 2012 and supported the project with a tour across America. The album's producers include some notable names that reinforce its diversity: Muckala (Backstreet Boys), Toby Gad (Beyonce), Brent Kutzle (One Republic), Noel Zancanella (Rashaan Ahmad), Carl Falk (Gavin DeGraw), Rami (Celine Dion), Matthew Gerrard (Jesse McCartney) and MIDI Mafia (50 Cent). In 2014, Carter recorded and released a collaborative album with Jordan Knight from News Kids On The Block and the duo announced their nation-wide tour on Good Morning America. Their album, Nick & Knight, debuted at #24 on the US Billboard 200 and #14 on the Canadian Albums Chart. From there the guys hit the road, playing over 30 sold out shows to screaming fans across the United States. Then, in the fall of 2014, Nick and longtime girlfriend, Lauren Kitt, made their reality TV debut as a couple in the VH1 reality series, I Heart Nick Carter.

The show followed the newly engaged couple's journey to the alter and gave viewers an inside look at how Nick and Lauren learn to balance demanding careers, outrageous families and planning a wedding. Being a couple while on the road can be rocky, but their love overcomes all obstacles as they shared their big day on national television. Nick Carter has finally found true love. At the 2015 San Diego Comic Con, Carter announced that he is partnering with the production company, The Asylum, to co-write, direct and star in a zombie Western movie titled Dead 7. The made-for-TV film is set to also star famous boyband members from O-Town, 98 Degrees, and some of Carter's bandmates from the Backstreet Boys. Production is currently in motion in Montana. Going back to his performing days, Nick Carter also announced that he will be joining season 21 of the ABC show Dancing With the Stars as a celebrity contestant. The new season will premiere in September 2015. When Nick isn't busy traveling the world, he's dedicated to giving back.

Through his work with organizations like UNEP (United Nations Environmental Program) and ICRAN (International Coral Reef Action Network), Carter hopes to use the platform of fame to make a significant difference in conserving the environment MonFeb | 29 Where can I get more info about an event?

Backstreet Boys | Rolling Stone artists > B > Backstreet Boys > Bio Backstreet Boys Bio After sweeping the European charts, it took almost two years for the Florida vocal group Backstreet Boys to bring its teen-friendly music and arena-ready choreographed moves back to its home country. Selling over 55 million records worldwide in three years, the group embodied the late-'90s pop explosion. High school friends A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough met Nick Carter at local acting auditions in Orlando.

Shortly thereafter, they hooked up with Kentucky native Kevin Richardson, who was singing in shows at Disney World; Richardson got his cousin Brian Littrell, with whom he used to sing back home, to relocate to Florida, and the five named themselves Backstreet Boys, using the name of an Orlando flea market. They were spotted by manager Lou Pearlman, who handed the group's daily care over to former New Kids on the Block road manager Johnny Wright and his wife, Donna. They started performing around local malls, theme parks, and schools, with Carter, Littrell, and McLean emerging as the main lead singers. Backstreet Boys signed to Jive Records in 1994, but their first Jive single, "We've Got It Goin' On" (#69, 1995), flopped in an American market still in grunge's waning grip. The song did a lot better everywhere else in the world, though, hitting #1 in Germany, for instance; the Boys' self-titled debut, released in the spring of 1996 everywhere but the U.S., sold over 11 million copies worldwide.

The Florida group finally made its full-length American debut with the 14-million-selling Backstreet Boys (#4, 1997), whose bulk was made up of the band's foreign release including a cover of P.M. Dawn's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" with a smattering of extra tracks. The group's label and managing company focused their marketing campaign on teen and preteen girls, distributing free tapes at cheerleading camps and placing them in JC Penney makeup cases. This time the strategy worked, and, with the extra help of a musical climate more open to bubblegum R&B, the group rocketed to the top of the pop charts with several singles, including the 2-million-selling "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" (#2, 1997), "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" (#4, 1998), and "I'll Never Break Your Heart" (#35, 1998). The group was also nominated for a Grammy for Best New Artist. In May 1998 it filed a lawsuit for back touring and recording revenues against Pearlman and the two associates he'd hired.

(The suit was eventually settled out of court with Pearlman receiving one-sixth of the band's earnings.) The band was also angry that Pearlman had been working with the nascent boy band 'N Sync. At about the same time, Littrell had open-heart surgery to correct a congenital defect. Recorded mostly in Stockholm, 1999's Millennium confirmed Backstreet Boys as the reigning boy band. Featuring some songs cowritten by the singers, the album debuted at #1, selling a record-breaking 1,134,000 copies the week of its release. It generated the hit singles "All I Have to Give" (#5, 1999), "I Want It That Way" (#6, 1999), and "Larger Than Life" (#25, 1999), and was nominated for five Grammys, including Best Album. The Millennium Tour sold out all its dates in less than a day, confirming the Backstreet Boys' phenomenal popularity. Also that year the group entered into a promotional campaign for Burger King, which distributed miniature plastic figures of each Boy.

With the group's top position endangered by the rise of rival boy band 'N Sync, it returned with the single "Shape of My Heart" (#9, 2000) and the album Black & Blue (#1, 2000), which included two songs written by the Boys themselves. Black & Blue sold 5 million copies worldwide in its first week but topped the chart for only two weeks —an accomplishment for anybody, but a letdown for the Boys, and not nearly as successful as 'N Sync's simultaneous release. The Boys postponed their summer 2001 North American tour so that McLean could enter a treatment program for depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse.

Backstreet Boys' 'In A World Like This' Brings The Boyband Back To The Billboard Charts | The Huffington Post Backstreet Boys' 'In A World Like This' Brings The Boyband Back To The Billboard Charts 10/08/2013 09:06 am ET Getty Backstreet is back in a big way.

The famed boy band entered the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart this week for the first time since 2007. The band's latest single, "In a World Like This," bowed at No. 34, according to Billboard. "In a World Like This" earns the now-grown men of the Backstreet Boys their highest debut on the chart, beating out previous record-holder "I Want it That Way," which entered the chart at No. 35 in 1999. The single is the title-track off of BSB's eighth studio album, which hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200. "It's definitely a combination of vintage Backstreet with the signature harmonies and melodies, but also, you know, we definitely have our ears and our eyes open to what's out there right now in the music scene," Backstreet Boys' Howie Dorough told HuffPost Entertainment about the record earlier this year. "We're just always trying to evolve. We always try to set the bar and push the envelope a little bit and always try to change things up with each record."
